SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) — Three victims who took the stand against a man dubbed the “Mission Rapist” were among those honored with a Justice Award from the San Francisco District Attorney’s office for their bravery.

During the two week trial last November, the three victims described their assaults in horrific detail. District Attorney George Gascon said it was their testimony that resulted in the conviction of 33-year-old Frederick Dozier Jr., who was sentenced to 370 years to life in prison.

“It is your bravery and your willingness to step up,” Gascon said at the ceremony.
